Pros

Solid comp with good base and high upside of RSUs. If you find the right org to be on, you will without a doubt learn and developed. Some of the smartest people I have worked with have come from my time with Amazon.

Cons

Obviously a large corporation that brings standard cons. Promotions are difficult. Expectation is to perform the "promotion" requirements 3-6 months before receiving the promotion and raise.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
